SCAWWY 😱 iwatooshi

The cherry blossom symbolizes both life and death, beauty and violence. As the coming of spring promises new life, so the blooming of cherry blossoms brings a sense of vitality and vibrancy. At the same time, their short lifespan is a reminder that life is fleeting. While cherry blossoms can be visually appealing to the eyes, there are actually many medicinal and therapeutic uses to various parts of the cherry blossoms. These health benefits include anti-inflammation, reducing blood pressure, or even treating diabetes symptoms.

[ GROANS... ]

Go figure the food is awful, too... [ we are in the refectory, but he still tries to finish the bland, terrible food as he walks around the building with it while he eats. he squints at the door that leads down to the cellar. alfyn carefully opens it with a free hand, before using the toe of his boot to open it the rest of the way, peering down the stairs cautiously.

over his shoulder, as he notices that their resident sword is here: ] Hey, Iwa, you been down here yet?

[ alfyn is seated on the ground behind the cabin, near the water, using the edge of his axe to carefully try to carve a short stick into a point as he watches movement of fish beneath the surface. he's making sure to not dull the edge of the blade, but he's only partially paying attention to his task.

he keeps reaching like he's trying to rub away the ink that's visible on his forearms, where his sleeves don't reach, but he's also trying to not pay too much attention to the words at the same time.

truly a struggle. ]

Oh, hey Iwa. You get settled in somewhere today with the weird feeling we all got about "home"?

[ we're outside of the theater, actually, as alfyn prowls around the exterior like he can actually find anything else here despite having done it before during the investigation himself.

he's got his axe in his hand, a death grip around it but in a hold that tells he's prepared to use it if he has to, instead of snapping it into the loop on the back of his belt. when he sees iwatooshi, his head lifts up from looking around on the ground. despite the tension in his body, there's visible relief to see him alright. ]

You find anythin' excitin' after we were able to leave the pyre?

[ seated at the bar of the winery is alfyn! he's got a drink, yes, but it's only maybe had a few drinks taken from it as he sits there with a spread of herbs and a mason jar on the other side from the drink. he's absently grinding herbs with a mortar and pestle until he gets it to the consistency and color that he wants.

he just looks frustrated as he works, and even with his ponytail there's clearly ink that yells losing more people across the back of his neck. but when he hears steps coming down the stairs into the basement, he lifts his head up and looks to see who it is.

seeing iwatooshi, he offers a wan, tired smile. ]

... come to take a load off?

[ hey what do you mean this is our only pc this week. anyway iwa's coming to check on him!! of course he is!! god!! ]

How are you feeling, Alfyn-dono? Is there anything I can do?

[ jesus fucking christ. iwa's wandering restlessly after Everything, but he'll come over and drop a hand on alfyn's shoulder when he sees him. ]

Feeling alright?

[ iwa himself is tense, unhappy, but otherwise calm. death isn't anything new to a weapon. ]

[ hey there's absolutely no preamble to this. the two of them are just minding their own business, perhaps standing in the gas station? they're two ye oldes, completely bemused by modern things, but the lights are so bright...

and the brightest lights cast the darkest shadows. shadows that are more than happy to ensnare someone, maybe two someones, and drag them into a terrible memory. ]

It's been too long, Aflyn-dono!

[ hitting him on the back! gently, of course. it actually seems to connect this time, leaving a spot on alfyn's back very cold. ]

I've missed your company. Watching you or reading letters isn't the same!

[ takes the sword to the dojo. the swojo. alfyn figures that iwatooshi has lived here for however long that it's been up, and he is actually a trained fighter in more than just axes. ]

Hey, Iwa... do you think we could have a round or two? I haven't been keepin' up with any trainin', on the other side, except to fight monsters. If we're gonna be fightin' the cultists, with or without powers...

I wanna make sure I'm all set.

[ voids us to start because alfyn will track iwatooshi down pretty quickly, looking like he did in fact get smacked down into the ground by a giant god beast. he has his mortar out, though. ]

C'mere, Iwa, I got somethin' for the both of us.
